The Merry Family
Archibald Merry was a minor noble from a forgotten corner of Redspan, in Atamara. After sowing his wild oats, as all young men do, he settled down with his chosen bride. Much to his mother's chagrin, the young lady in question was the beautiful daughter of a poor tenant farmer, but he loved her dearly. The young Lady Merry was, however, a bit overawed by her change is social position, and in an attempt to mollify her mother-in-law, became not a bit snobby. Archibald never regretted his choice, even though Lady Merry provided him with nothing but daughters. He loved every one of his girls, and spoiled them all. The eldest of his daughters is Annalise, followed closely by Anya.

Anya Merry

After one suitor too many, she took her allowance and boarded the first ship, ending up in the East Continent, in the Grand Lodge of Lunaria. The sea voyage gave her a taste for adventure, and so once landed she hired a small band of archers and set about finding some.
